"I think the water is running low …we should run down to the river and get some " Halt said to his apprentice
Gilan started walking to the door and stopped in the frame of it. "I thought you coming?"
"If you would have thought about it you wouldn't have asked" Halt raised one eyebrow but otherwise remained emotionless.
"But I thoug-"
Halt sighed loudly "You're an apprentice you're not ready to think"
Gilan gave his best evil eye to Halt. The old ranger was starting to annoy him.
"What's wrong do you need to use the latrine, boy, you look a bit constipated?" Halt said innocently "now go!
Gilan ran terrified by Halt's anger.
36 buckets of water later Gilan slumped exhaustedly into Halt's cabin.
"Took you long enough, don't you think" Halt droned wearily. "It's getting cold, go chop some firewood will you?"
"No, I have done enough today."
"Have you?" Halt raised his eyebrow
" Gilan decided to not anger the grizzled ranger anymore and stomped outside to do his chores
"Do you know how to cook, boy?" Halt asked his apprentice.
"Of course not, I lived in a castle." Gilan looked bewildered at Halt's question.
"Do you at least know how to make coffee?"
"I've never liked that stuff." Gilan knew that Halt knew he was lying
"It's going to be rather cold tonight, don't you think, boy? 'Halt asked randomly
"Well that's only natural since it's snowing, why do you say so?" Gilan asked slightly confused.
"The trees are rather snowy"
'Yes, why the heck are you saying these things!" The aggravated apprentice yelled
Halt looked as calm as ever "you'll be spending the night in them."
Gilan P.O.V
Gilan found out that Halt was not kidding when he said he would spend the night in a tree.
Right before bed Halt pushed him out the door and locked it behind him
"you will pay for this" Gilan muttered
Halt yelled "tell that to the wild animals that come to eat you for dinner" Through the door of his tiny cabin. "I think they quite like the taste of nobility"
Gilan felt angry, he absolutely, hated Halt, his non-smiling face and his double edged praise. Earlier Halt had told him, after five hours of cleaning that his cabin was almost clean enough for pigs to live in.
Gilan found what seemed like a good spot to camp for the night. If you could even call it camping with no supplies. He tried to climb a tree and promptly fell on his butt. No he thought, not a good climber and made a mental note of that fact.
It was going to be a long night on the cold and snowy ground Gilan sighed and tried to get some sleep.
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmm…unicorns….rainbows...loli-AHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHH!"
Halt was getting annoyed, and Gilan was not getting up. "He just needs encouragement Halt thought." So he proceeded to dump water on his sleeping apprentice.
He stared at his wet apprentice.
"What the heck did for do that for!" Gilan yelled as he pushed his wet hair out of his eyes.
"You wouldn't wake up." He said simply
He was thinking of heading to the castle to see Lady Pauline, today but unfortunately he had his annoying apprentice to take care of.
Gilan interrupted his thinking "Why are we up so early?"
"We have a lot of work to do" Gilan was apprenticed in the middle of winter, so he had a huge disadvantage in his assessments in the spring. He had only been with Halt for two weeks and the gathering was in five. He grabbed his cloak and walked into the clearing outside his cabin
Gilan joined him in a few minutes. Halt handed him a bundle of something wrapped in cloth and Gilan opened it enthusiastically.
His apprentice looked up from the bundle of weapons and a ranger cloak "Now this is where the fun begins."
